I managed to break (display and chassis) a mb aluminum some time ago and used the intact parts to build a stationary although without wlan or bluetooth (bt) as I removed the monitor part where these are located. Instead I went out and bought a targus bt (which apple recommends for macs without bt or macs with bt disabled on a hardware level).

The problem I'm having now is that after my mac wakes from sleep the bt functions strangely. For instance my apple bt keyboard doesn't have working media keys (play, volume, expose and so on). Actually expose is stuck on the mute-key as if the fn key was pressed but I can't get it to return to normal operation (however I can still type on the keyboard and most of the keys work normally). Middle mouse also stops working after wake along with a few other minor glitches.

Either way, I can solve the problem by rebooting or physically disconnecting the usb bt-module and then reconnecting it. It would however be more convenient if I could have the computer do this automatically when waking from sleep, maybe through a script that runs on wake and restarts the bt hardware but I don't really know how to do this... so if someone knows please share your wisdom.

Or if you have a different solution for this problem...
